Chapter 49 · A Goldsmith and the Brahmin's Garland
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
गर्भस्रावो भवेन्नार्य्याः काकवन्ध्या च जायते ॥अस्य पापस्य वै शान्तिं शृणु देवि सुशोभने ॥ १० ॥
His wife loses her unborn babies and becomes a kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child). Hear the calming rite for this sin, O lovely Goddess.
Classical view, not medical advice.
षडंशं च ततो देवि ब्राह्मणाय समर्पयेत् ॥
Then let him give one sixth to a brahmin, O Goddess. Let him do a hundred thousand japa (repeating a mantra) of the Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant)…
हरिवंशश्रुतिं देवि संकल्प्य श्रद्धया युतः ॥
Let him make the vow and have the Harivamsha (a sacred book about Krishna) heard with faith, O Goddess. Let him have a homa (fire offering) done…
गोदानं विधिवत्कुर्याच्छिवपूजनमेव च ॥
Let him give a cow by the rule, and worship Shiva. When this is done, without doubt he soon gets a son.
